Questions to those who have had their accounts closed:

Do you have "friends" on FourSquare, or whatever you use to checkin? They're serious about that too.

And what are you using to checkin if not 4Square?
Yes, before getting closed, I did have friends on FourSquare, and I did use it for other things besides TopGuest sign-ins.

It was clearly rapid-fire that killed me, even though I was literally at each hotel (on the road) when I checked in. This probably happened 25-30 tiimes total, not daily. The hotel that is very close to my house I checked into daily and the others only as a driveby.
